We had this dead space in the dining room that I went back and forth on when deciding how to decorate it. In our formal dining room, all we had was a buffet that I deemed the coffee bar, and we decorated it as such. It’s where I make my coffee every morning and otherwise the room was completely empty. Then I got a plant, and sat it right in the lonely corner by itself, and the emptiness of the room was basically screaming at me every time I looked at it.

Okay well some of the screaming may have just been from Luke. But it just didn’t have a purpose! I knew I didn’t want it to function like a proper dining room, but I did want to finish the space and still allow the room to feel open and airy. When HomeGoods reached out to work together on a project, I knew I had to tackle this room. So – welcome to my new coffee nook!

As you can see, my cat Gravy has made himself quite at home already. I had chairs that I had already purchased, but I needed a rug and other accessories, along with a table to complete the sitting area. I went to the HomeGoods closest to me to find a very specific table and I found the perfect one!

Since the rug was a bit dark, and the chairs were dark, I wanted a light marble table. I was also willing to settle for glass, but I really wanted marble. And there are tons of marble accessories to choose from, so had I not found this perfect table, I would have made up for my marble needs with accessories. The finish on the legs and edge is antique gold, which feels cool, and I think it fits in the room just perfectly. To add a bit of height, I found some cook books in the kitchen section of the store, and stacked 3 of those and placed a floral* arrangement on top.

I couldn’t help but make a batch of apple fritters for my family the other day. I hit the jackpot with some perfectly tart granny smith apples, and immediate knew they would work perfectly in a fritter. If you’d like the recipe, just click here! It was such a fun project to work on, and HomeGoods is a place I’ve shopped at for years and years. The rug in our living room, which I’m asked about frequently on Snapchat, is from HomeGoods as well. I noticed a really vast selection of neutral colored rugs at the store, and had 3 favorites but ultimately narrowed it down to this one.

My next project is to create a plant stand for my little tree to the right of the seating area, so that feels a bit more intentional, but otherwise the room is pretty much done!

I love that the room functions for what we need it for, versus what the traditional use for it is. And I also love that I’ve checked the box of “finish the dining room area” on my to do list!

No Twitter, blog, or Facebook, because I’m the worlds lone holdout in such things:p

I really would love the chance to try a HomeGoods makeover. We have 2 in our area, and while I go in with great intentions, I’m always so overwhelmed by both stores that I usually leave with nothing. It would be great to have a head start in making our bedroom or front living room more homey, as those are the rooms which get the least attention (even though the front living room has become more of a playtime staging area for our 16 month old).

Beautiful coffee nook! If I were to pull that off in our house, my husband would demand it be in Dunkin Donuts pink and orange with full time employees at his beck and call;)

I would love to win this sweepstakes to help in transforming an extra bedroom in our house. Right now it has no purpose and has become a drop zone for everything. This prize would definitely help us to organize our space.

My bedroom is in desperate need of a makeover. Like many others, my bedroom is the last to get the star treatment because guests typically don’t see it. When we moved into our new house a year ago, I prioritized the high-traffic rooms first, like the kitchen and living room. This has left my bedroom neglected and a place where it’s stressful to lay my head down at night instead of a sanctuary like it should be.

We are a military family and just moved in to a new home about a year ago. I have not been able to find decor for our house in the small town we live in. Home goods is about an hour away, so I try to get there as much as I can! My bedroom and our living room could use some help for sure! The only rooms that look put together are my kids rooms. I’d love the oppurtuity to win to help get our house looking like a home!

When we moved to Raleigh almost 1 year ago, I was newly pregnant with our second baby. We bought our “forever home” in March and immediately re-did our now 2 year old’s room and the new baby’s. They look great, but they are the only rooms in the house done to my liking! I’d love to shop HomeGoods to give our master bedroom a little facelift. 🙂

Oh gosh.. my entire house needs a makeover! My husband and I bought our first house a little over three years again and have only redone the bathroom. I would love to win the gift card and finally be able to redo another room ( or at least get started).

We just bought a house earlier this year straight out of the 70’s. While our kitchen and bathrooms need some major work, a small project to kick things off would be the perfect – our entryway would be perfect! When you enter the front doors of our house you’re met with a wall of floral wallpaper and the option to go right or left in the fairly narrow entryway. I would love to take down the wallpaper and have shelving with a wall of pictures, hooks for jackets, a narrow bench and a mat for shoes to sit on. This contest would give me the opportunity to make my vision a reality!

We recently moved about 7 months ago and I had a baby 5 months ago, so our house is kind of a mess 🙂 We’re a military family too and so after many moves this last time we decided to downsize a lot of junk furniture rather than move it all again. We have a huge living/dining space now and things are looking a little bare. I’d love to start decorating it and have it feel more like a home!

My bedroom is in dire need of an update! We moved into our new house two years ago and our mattress are still on the floor! We have yet to buy a bed for ourselves as we needed to get new bed for our kids. Our dresser is a hand me down from my parents. I just need to update it so it feels more like an adult bedroom oasis vs college studemts bedroom! Thanks!

I just put a coffee station in my kitchen. My husband converted an old dresser, I love it! However, I have yet to do any decorating or finishing touches on or around it. THANK YOU for all of the fun and CREATIVE ideas to spark my creativity!!

We bought our house earlier in the year and I still have a few areas that I’d like to fix up. We have a formal sitting room, where we have our piano and a couple of nice chairs. I’d love to get a little table similar to the one in your post for in between the chairs and some nice decor for the walls in that room.

Love your coffee nook! I love Home Goods and would love to win a gift card. We just finished paying our house off and now we need to start updating rooms again. I would start with my livingroom first. There is a Home Goods 3 miles from me and I frequent often, such a great store!

We have a front room that is supposed to be a formal living room but we have turned it into a room for our teenage boys. I would love to be able to finish this room. We need more decorations and a side table.

Love what you did with this room! I just finished building a home (literally we built it) and am still working on getting things finished as far as decorating. HomeGoods was where I purchased my sofa and lots of other pillows and accessories. I am always looking for more!

Always love your style and tips! I’d love the chance to transform our guest room! We are a military family and just recently moved. Most of our furniture is being made to “work for the time being” in our rental home. However, since we are out of state removed from family I would love to cozy up the guest room and make it an inviting place for our family to visit!

Our dining room is also in need of a makeover! Currently, it is housing cat food, our computer, and has become a catch-all for craft supplies..so, basically it’s having a bit of an identity crisis at the moment..?

Our master bedroom. Just looking at it last night thinking how awesome it would be if we won a contest to redesign. We have plain curtains, white sheets, a tan comforter.. Mismatched furniture. Nothing is pretty.

We just bought a new couch for our living room, so that’s definitely the room I would love to update! I am working on a gallery wall for the wall behind the couch, and so some frames and wall decor would go perfectly. I also need a few curtains to liven up my window, and an accent chair would go perfectly below the window (similar to what you did!). A Home Goods gift card would come in so handy and would be such a huge help in getting that room marked off my to-do list!

We need help everywhere, but especially our living and dining areas – we just moved and it’s a big open concept space and our old stuff doesn’t work particularly well… Would love to have some help along the way!

I love home goods! I wouldn love to finish decorating my master bedroom. It has had blank walls and mismatched furniture for the last 4 years? It has been the last room to get any attention, and I wish it could be a relaxing getaway for my husband and I.

Fall is home inspirational home makeover season for me and I like to take on a project as children leave the nest and tired walls need refreshment. Except I struggle with my own space. The master bedroom & bath are in great demand for a breath of fresh air and need creative guidance that would be welcomed by HomeGoods ?

We just bought our house this summer, and while a lot of the rooms are feeling *mostly* done…we desperately need to create a drop zone for coats, shoes, etc…especially as the weather is getting colder! Right now this stuff is migrating…everywhere…

I love this little coffee nook! What a cute idea in place of a formal dining room.

This gift card would be fantastic because my husband and I just moved in to our first home and we literally have noting but a bed and a couch! (And the couch was from when my husband was a bachelor, enough said) It’s so hard to decide on one room since they all are empty, but I guess I would have to say our dining room so we could finally work towards a table and chairs. That way we can finally have somewhere to sit and eat!

Sadly I don’t have a blog or twitter account, so I hope this entry will do!

Would love to add a rug to our dining room to cozy it up for the holidays! If I win, I would head straight to Homegoods. Of course, I would end up with more than a rug, as things just somehow magically appear in my cart by the time I checkout. ?

This is fabulous! We’ve been in our new house for a year and have the same “empty” space you had – a front room with big windows and a fireplace that’s empty!! I’d love to dress up the mantle and create a sitting area.

I have a large kitchen. I have an area that is blank and blah. I’ve managed to get an old sewing table that I intend to use as the coffee station, but would love to use Home Goods for my accessories and wall décor. This space is screaming help and that $100 Visa gift card is just the ticket to get that project done.

I actually just moved to the Raleigh area, and I suddenly have so much more space than I am used to from my tiny apartment in Chicago. The living room area is so… empty and un-lived in. I would love to give it more life with bright furniture similar to your coffee table, as we have a mind-blowing view of forests and fields out in the backyard!

Our dining room is a complete mess right now – we moved in to this house about 4 months ago but the dining room still has a stack of unhung pictures, a strange wire bakers rack, and folding chairs! I’d love a run in there (new house is all hardwood) and some actual dining room chairs.

The room in my house that needs a makeover is my upstairs bedroom/sitting area. It hasn’t been touched in decades….the previous owners re-did the main floor, but not the upstairs. It’s where all of our random, mis-matched furniture has been going. It definitely needs some thought and work put in to it!

I would love to update our family room a little more. We are planning to add stone to our fireplace but that’s just the starting point! Home Goods is a favorite to stop at when I get a chance, only wish there was one closer to home!

You’re dining room looks great! I have so much of my house to makeover but I would start with the bedroom/my office. I would love to give it a new and fresh look that would maybe inspire me a little bit.

Our first baby (a boy!) is due in January and we are currently decorating a nursery. It’s been challenging because we live in an open concept loft. So his nursery is going to be a nursery/library/den combo. Needless to say we could definitely do some damage on a trip to HomeGoods!

Um….EVERY room in my house. It is 10 years old and it’s décor and needs a makeover. But if I had to pick one, I would pick the living room. We are in there a lot and would like more light/bright colors to perk it up.

My bedroom is in desperate need of a make over. It was the room I claimed I would do first when we moved in… a year and a half ago! (It’s now the last that needs to be done). I would love to get some accessories for it!

My bedroom desperately needs a makeover! My boyfriend and I just moved in together and we’ve focused all our energy on the downstairs of our house. But our bedroom has fallen by the wayside and could really use some sprucing up.

My husband and I are looking at buying our first house. Pretty much all of our current household items are castaway items from our parents. 🙁 When we move, we are getting all new stuff and start fresh! I love shopping Homegoods for inspiration!

My dining room desperately needs a makeover. It currently houses any random pieces of furniture/decor I have no where else to put. So it’s not very cohesive with the rest of the house, or even cohesive with itself? Would love to change that!

And I love that you partnered with HomeGoods! I LOVE HomeGoods because of their great style and, most importantly, their prices. Much more realistic for my price point/lifestyle than some of these other home decor places others recommend.

We moved at the beginning of the summer and we have an extra bedroom that is designated “Mommy’sRoom” (I have two boys and need a girly, non testosterone filled place!) I want to make it a craft/reading room, but right now it’s full of boxes and random furniture we haven’t found another place for.

I would love to win this sweepstakes! I just bought my very first home all on my own and I’m a proud new home owner. I just need a little help decorating it up! I have a new Homegoods store in my area and I LOVE IT! Thanks for the great post Kate.

My bedroom desperately needs a makeover! Three years ago when I bought our house, I said the bedroom would be the first to get done…guess how that turned out! The previous homeowners took the easy route for absolutely everything: instead of removing the wallpaper, lets just wallpaper over it! And then paint over it! And then paint again! What I’ve got going on now is some hand-me-down furniture, a bed frame from Amazon, and walls that are slowly but surely being torn apart. This gift card would be a great little boost to get me started on the road to renovation so I can finally feel comfortable and at peace in my space.

I love homegoods too! Our master bedroom needs lots of help! We bought our first home this summer and had a new baby 1 week after closing.. soo it’s a mess 🙂 haha. I’d love to add some nightstands and a cozy rug to make it a more peaceful place to go at the end of the day.

Definitely our master bedroom! It has been the most neglected since moving in a year and a half ago! A rug just like the one you chose would add some great texture, as well as some type of small buffet/cabinet! I love what you chose and the chairs you already had purchased!

Definitely it would be my dining room also. That room has sat empty since we moved in 2 years ago! I plan on getting furniture in the near future and would love some help with accessorizing the space. I love Home Goods!

Your office space looks awesome! I am a neutral girl all the way, so this is spot on with my style.

I started to create a make up/office space out of a small bedroom in our house and it’s been sitting incomplete for 3 years now. I would be super excited to finish it so I can actually have some room to get ready in and be organized!

I’m in a holding pattern with decorating my living room. We have a couch on order, but I just can’t seem to pull the trigger on the rest of the of the decor. I would love to have this extra money to help me find the right stuff within our budget, which will probably be at HomeGoods! 🙂

This space looks great and I love that you aren’t using it as a dining room. If we aren’t using it for it’s “intended” purpose then let’s make it what we really want. I love HomeGoods and shop there way too much. Thanks for the chance to win!

Our living room needs some lovin’ and a makeover. We recently moved into our home a year ago, and desperately need a new couch and other sitting options. We also complied furniture from our 5 years of marriage so far, and nothing really matches are goes together. Just need to basically hit the reset button.

Our guest room is a DISASTER. The only thing that makes it a guest room is that there’s a bed in there. It’s currently filled with furniture left over from our college days and who knows what else. I’d love to make it more inviting, homey, and intentional. HomeGoods would really help!

Sounds like we are not the only ones whose master bedroom is in desperate need of a makeover! The rest of the main floor is in pretty good shape overall, but our bedroom needs some professional help (and about 6 more hampers, maybe) 🙂

Your dining room looks great, Kate! I love that you didn’t use it as a traditional dining space. My whole house needs help. It’s currently taken over by baby items for my 8 month old and most of our furniture is hand-me-downs. How do you manage to keep your house looking magazine-worthy with two boys running around?! Maybe one day I will have a house that looks like an adult lives there. Haha! I love that you got all the items from HomeGoods! They just opened one by my house and I have been dying to go there! Keep up the great work, Kate!

I love HomeGoods! I used their amazing deals to transform my husband’s old office into a nursery for our firstborn son (Coming in November). Now I need to redo our guest room for all the potential family coming to visit! Help!

Ihave always loved your style in your homes!! Your old house was so beyond beautiful, and your new house is gorgeous.
Pretty much every room in my house could use a makeover. We are living in a very old manufactured home and it is a slow process trying to uodate it. But my main goal is to step up the kitchen and dining areas. That is where the hustle and bustle is and during birthday parties i need it. Id really love to win if you could come style my house kate 😉

My son’s bedroom. He is about turn 13 in about a month and his room is still exactly the same as when he was born!! I know……absurd! He has finally agreed it needs to be changed. The cute spaceships and planets need to move out and make way for a teenagers room.

I’m so excited about this sweepstakes with Home Goods. My very sad looking “home office” could use a makeover. I’m a birth Doula and work-from-home Mama of a fiery two year old little boy. I would love a more sophisticated and soothing workspace for myself.

Our master bedroom could definitely use some help! With 2 little kids and a house that has been almost completely remodeled, out bedroom has gotten completely neglected. And, a Home Goods just opened near me!!!

We just celebrated our 1 year anniversary of moving into our first home! But, our bedroom still looks exactly as it did when we moved in! Nothing on the walls, no rug, nothing! This would be an awesome little kickstarter to give our room some love!

I would love the opportunity to revamp our master bedroom. My husband and I have been married for 5.5 years and are still using my bedroom furniture that I’ve had since I was in 5th grade!! I want a space that feels more grown up and doesn’t remind me of my childhood (although it was a very happy one!) haha Love the coffee nook!

I would love to win this sweepstakes! My living room desperately needs a makeover. We’ve only been in our home for a year and a half. At the time we moved I had a 10 month old, and was pregnant with our second so we never had a chance to really decorate and make it a “home.” We’ve had the same furniture since we moved from New York to North Carolina five years ago, and I’m pretty sure that it’s ten years older than that! I would love the opportunity to create a space for my kids and husband to enjoy that we can build together.

For the last feweek months I have been looking at our living room/dining room & wanting to change it up. We have lived in our house, a total fixer, for 10 years and this was the first room we rehabbed. I have paint leftover from our stairwell that would look great in there but it is a few shades lighter than what is currently on the walls. By using my “free” paint it would mean changing my curtains, dining room chairs, and couch because they would be too dark! And while we’really at it I’m over the coffee table that I’ve had for 12 or 13 years. (There’s nothing wrong with it so I feel guilty getting rid of it but I’m just done, you know?) None of this would be an issue if we were going to live here another 10 years but we would like to move on to a larger place in the next 2, so anything that would help keep the cost of a spruce up down would be great! I’m too practical to go spend $2k for new furniture I want but don’t need!

I would love a chance to win a makeover for my office! I currently share a small office with my husband and only have one desk. I am studying for the CPA exams and would love my own desk/space for studying so I don’t have to take over other areas in the house!

I would love to make over a similar nook in our kitchen. It’s not quite big enough for a dining room table, but it’s too big for just a china hutch. I think a coffee (or wine!) nook would be perfect there.

My husband and I have been in a perpetual state of remodel since we bought our house. We finally got our master room finished and I use it as my little oasis away from the rest of the demolished house. The only downside is that I have not decorated it at all. The fresh new walls, windows and floors could definitely use some pretty things to make it perfect!

This is such a cool giveway, and your coffee nook looks amazing! I don’t have a specific room on its own that needs a makeover, but both my living room and my bedroom could use a few finishing touches! I need some tall end tables in my living room (my couch arms are the same height as the back of the couch), and I could use some more pillows/accessories in my bedroom!

This is an awesome giveaway! I am a huge fan of Homegoods and we have two rooms in our house that could desperately use some help! We are starting from scratch on buying furniture and decorating our dining room and guest bedroom. We really like a modern, eclectic style, mixing old with the new. Homegoods has a great variety of both! I’m an avid Instagramer but that’s as far as the social media train takes me! Hope very much to win!

Your home is absolutely stunning! What a great idea to add a little coffee nook! I would love to have a little space where I can chat over coffee or read. Those apple fritters look so delicious! It’s making me hungry!

Our master bedroom. I actually spend a LOT of time in there as our boys tend to take over the living room. It has been neglected and is filled with mismatched furniture and the curtains from the previous owner.

I have a guest bedroom that is painted “bitter dark chocolate”. It’s really a beautiful very dark brown/purple color. And a great color for encouraging sleep. BUT still have a hard time finding some bedding that would work and to complete the room. How fun to have a little help with that.

I once won a Book It t-shirt in 1st grade. Do you remember Book It?! And do you know it still exists?! My son is in 3rd grade and they did Book It last year!

So, in honor of my son, and (sorta) never winning anything, and Book It, I would love to use the $100 Homegoods gift towards doing something cool in his 3rd grade room! But we don’t have a Homegoods in my neck of the woods, so I guess it will be a good excuse to drive to the Chicago burbs! Yay!

Oh goodness me I would do my office. I’m a stay at home mommy who and I have a health and lifestyle business. When I am on my business calls they are via video chat and the background of my calls is my black printer and three not placed well pictures!! It’s so sad!! I think finishing my office space would help me so much by allowing me to work in a space that inspires me. If I feel inspired I can help others feel inspired!

We have a piano/toy/reading room just off our living room. I would love to turn it into a room with intentional toy storage instead of “all the toys piled in the corner!!” system we have now! Lovely makeover!! ?

My desk needs not just an update, but a makeover. It is currently two tables, one with a laptop and printer, and one with all the other junk from around the house on it. It is hindering my productivity quite a bit… I need a better form of organization and a more satisfying atheistical effect.

Our bedroom is in desperate need of a makeover, and we are also having our first baby in February! I would put this gift card to great use! 🙂 We JUST got a new Homegoods in my area, and I can’t wait to check it out!

I LOVE HomeGoods! We just bought our first new bedroom furniture set and I would love to makeover our master bedroom in a bohemian theme! Right now the walls and nightstands are empty. That $100 gift card would be so incredible.

My bedroom could definitely use some help. We have lived in our home for 14 years and still have not hung any pictures or art on the walls. It could use some window treatments. It’s very plain, but yes, it’s the room only we see!

Man, a sweepstakes win would be so handy right now! Our living room (and frankly, the whole house) is in shambles after 4 years of college frat boys (former tenants) wreaking havoc on it. We’re trying our darndest to fix things up on a shoestring budget, and HomeGoods would definitely make a big impact!

I have been very intentional about updating the common areas of my house but my bedroom seems to be the catch all. It needs updating for sure and really just a few things to bring it to life… like a nightstand on both sides of the bed instead of just one… 🙂

We are moving out west after 10 years in Washington DC and I just want new everything. It is a new chapter in our lives and redoing our furniture and decor will be so much fun to signal a fresh start in a new city!

What an awesome giveaway! Our breakfast nook is open on all sides – to the left is our kitchen, behind are our sliding doors and deck, and beyond two column posts on the right, is our open concept dinning room. We are at a loss for what to do with this space! Another table looks silly since the dining room is a few feet away and our island has seating in the kitchen. We are in need of… Something. I am sure Home Goods would have the answer 🙂

Here’s my entry! Haha… I really would like to win! I’d put the money toward a play area for the baby, the entry or the hallway. It would be nice to finally fix up one of those areas!
Kate, what is the color on your walls?

My bedroom needs a makeover. We recently moved into our home, but I feel that I have too much dead space in my bedroom. I would love to make use of that space with a small reading nook or desk-ish area. Thank you for hosting such an awesome giveaway!

The foundation of my house started caving a year ago and I had to raise it, gut it, and pour new foundation. It has cost an astronomical amount of money, but I’m now ready to make it livable. I’d love to transform the living area space in the basement into something beautiful!

Oh please pick me! We sold our couch and moved into a new house with the intention of buying something new when we got moved in. Well it has been one thing after another and now we have an empty living room. Literally there is a camp chair in my living room right now.

Our master room is in need of a desperate make over. I envision a large cozy area rug, a bench at the foot of the bed and some new lighting on either sides of the bed would bring our room together. With kids, our needs seem to go to the way side.

My small living area in my beach studio apartment. I love HomeGoods and purchased a rug from there for my area but it wasn’t the best choice for the space. It would also be nice to organize the space a bit more – less clutter, more organization, clean space!

Great idea! I love little sitting nooks like that. Would love to see the whole room finished so I can see what it looks like with the buffet too! I would personally love to work on our dining area. I really want to frame some pictures from our travels to brighten up the dark space!

Love home goods it’s my favorite store but so dangerous because I can never walk in and Out without buying something! My second bedroom is in need of a makeover as it just basically a storage room right now!

I am undating my house to bring it into this decade. 🙂 I’ve been working on my great room and kitchen. Next, I am starting to attack the dining room and powder room. My favorite store in the entire world, Homegoods, will be my starting point. Thanks for the chance to win.

I would love to do something to our living room! Everything in it is TAN, the carpets, the walls, the couch, bleh! I’m dying for some grey walls and pops of color. And some storage to keep my 2 year old’s toys from taking over everything the room!

I love the way you put this space together! I just moved into my first apartment without a roommate, so I have been doing a lot of decorating/furnishing lately. I would love to finish out my living room with a trip to HomeGoods!

We just had to put our dog to sleep after 14 years his week. I just can’t stand to look at the furniture he layed on every day. I want to redo the entire room. My first project will be to paint the room a bright, cheery color.

Adorable! But that’s not surprising.
The HomeGoods in Brier Creek has a cycle of adorable buffets that I’ve been dying to purchase. My husband just made me an awesome farmhouse table for our dining room that also serves as my “office” while I’m in grad school. My vision is to add a buffet to store all my books, supplies, printer, etc. so they’re not an eye sore and to be something I could re-purpose after I graduate!

We moved into our new house about 7 months ago. Our dining room has nothing but a rug in it. My dad is helping us build a farmhouse style table for it, but this poor room needs some serious love and lots of new decor.

My son recently moved to his own apartment. That leaves his room empty 🙁 I would like to convert it from a young man’s room to a guest room. A gift certificate to Home Goods would give me a great start!

I have been searching Pinterest for every way I can decorate on a minimal budget like mine. I’m a single girl with a lot of bills, so I nickel and dime wherever I can. I live in an apartment that is a multi-family house, so the vents are shared. Unfortunately my neighbors are people who smoke (a few things) and being an allergy sufferer, I have isolated myself to my bedroom frankly because it is easier to manage to ion/ air purify/ candle scent/ diffuse essential oils in one small space to keep the neighbors recreational away from my nose. Long story long, my bedroom needs to be my happy, zen place, especially because I am almost quarantined to it! I’m in need of some essential items to help the atmosphere and really make my bedroom a place that I can relax after working a long day. I’m such a homegoods fan, but can’t always afford to shop there. This would be such a treat! Sorry for blabbing and I’m such a giant fan of your blog. Any time I get a compliment on how I style my hair, I always have to give Kate @ thesmallthingsblog.com a giant shoutout for teaching me everything I know!

Your coffee nook looks great! I love HomeGoods! I shop there all the time for my house. My “office” could really use some help. It’s not so much an office as it is a “catch all” room. It’s got one desk and one table, a short filing cabinet, a large closet filled with my craft supplies and overflow from the rest of the house and almost all the walls are adorned with sports stuff and my husband’s golf stuff. Like I said, this room could really use some HomeGoods magic. 🙂

Awesome!! We just turned our dining room into a casual reading room instead. I’ve never had the desire for a formal dining room with crazy expensive furniture we’ll never use and will just collect dust. Love your coffee bar idea – maybe I should start drinking coffee! We have a second-floor open loft that needs attention. Thinking of turning it into an office/craft/homework station. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Homegoods. A new one is opening really close to me in the next few months which could be a very dangerous (expensive) thing for me. Currently, I have to drive over an hour to get to one.

My basement has become just a storage room but I would love to transform it into a family space. A place to watch tv, listen to music and do our hobbies. A gift card would really help give me a jump start.

Moving so each room is going to need all their own little home-y touches! Such an exciting, but long process. Trying to hurry it up as we are in Pennsylvania and don’t want to get stuck moving in winter weather!! Looking forward to getting the chance to start off in a fresh new place & decorating has always been something I’ve had a knack for! Can’t wait! 🙂

I love this nook! My husband and I are in the process of looking for a new home but our bedroom would DEFINITELY be the room that needs a makeover. I love the marble, gold, and grey that you have put together. It looks classy and modern!

First, thanks for your great content.
I just moved into a new apartment and I’ve been on your blog a couple of times, just to pick up some decorative ideas. I was thrilled to see that your latest post was about this as well!!
I would love to warm up the kitchen and bedroom a bit, and create an inviting feel for the entry-way and dining room.

Right off the front entry I have this very LONG room but don’t know what to do with it. Its got a fireplace, a entry into the kitchen and french doors that goes to the back of the room. *sigh, we’ve only lived in the house for a year and it still remains empty or becomes our catch all for things we don’t know where to put them at yet.

Ooh, really love how the coffee nook turned out! Gravy seems to approve as well. 😉 Our basement decor could really use some sprucing up, it is lacking considerably in the “style” department! I’ve been wanting to turn a corner of it into a home office so that would definitely be how I would use the gift card!

Love the way you did your space! I have a Home Goods near me but not on my “regular path” so I forgot about it until this post. And boy do I have a project going on! My husband was a carpenter by trade and does beautiful work but our projects take a back seat to health concerns. I’ve dubbed the most recent project “our 5 year remodel” but I can see daylight and will need 2 nightstands – soon! Will put Home Goods at the top of my shopping list – hopefully with a prize from this entry 🙂

I would love to re-do our guest bedroom. Right now it contains a bed, but the rest is simply a “staging area” for the rest of the house–forgotten/unwanted/broken furniture, random books and pictures, etc. I love Homegoods and would of course love a Visa gift card to get started! It would definitely motivate me to haul some of that old and broken particle board from our early 20s down to the curb!

I’ve been wanting to create a gallery wall on an empty wall in my hallway with photos, shelves and other little mementos, and freshen up my living room decor, and this gift card would be absolutely perfect for that.

I have a couple Home Goods near me. Oh what room doesn’t need a makeover. I would love my bedroom made over but it’s not a room that everyone sees so I would have to say the living room. It’s in dire need of some sprucing up. The room is sort of a combo living/dining area as we redid the kitchen and opened up a wall (we did it ourself). We have yet to repaint and the room is just outdated.

Oh my! I love the look of everything in your sweet home, it’s perfect!
Me and my fiancé just moved to our family farm, with that comes a home we moved into; however, it has not been touched in 4+ years. Plenty needs to be done, but for now the master bedroom would be a great start! It is very out dated, my grandparents lived in it (so its older). I really enjoy fresh and light, much like the farmhouse feel!

This looks so great! I would love to try at Home Goods makeover. My dining area is in desperate need of some style. We just have a collection of hand-me-downs that don’t really reflect our tastes and I would love to make it a space that we like to hang out. Thanks for the giveaway!

My dining room needs a makeover! It isn’t horrible, but we basically put our dining room table and one other piece of furniture in that room and said “Good enough”. It has no style or ‘pulled together’ look to it. I’d love some curtains, wall art, or a rug to help center the room and make it more attractive.

Our spare bedroom could use the help. I was intentionally leaving it empty with the hope that it would turn into a nursery. It has been about 2 years (seems like forever) with no need for a nursery yet. Every time I walk past the room the idea of a nursery seems to taunt me. Maybe if it had a different purpose it would help.

My sun room has been empty for 4 years. I would like to turn it into a craft room where my teen girls can have freedom to sew and work on projects! I want to inspire creativity in my children in an easier way than making messes on the kitchen table! 🙂 would love to win this to purchase a cubby organizer for crafts!

Love this makeover and your style. I would LOVE a chance to do a Homegoods makeover in our townhouse. We bit off a little more than we could chew when buying our house and have had to pump the breaks on any and all decorating due to budget restrictions. Crossing my fingers we have a change to dress up the house, soon!

I love the coffee nook table! So chic! I am also loving that sideboard – I was wondering where you got that…was it HomeGoods as well? I am looking for a similar one with the sliding doors since out dining room table doesn’t leave much space for doors to swing open!

I would love to remake our living room. We have been in our house for 9 years and most of the furniture in that room is hand-me-down. Don’t get me wrong I love free but lately that room looks well hand-me-down. This gift card would be a great help!

Love your coffee bar! Currently, the only thing in my dining room as well is a coffee bar that I have been slowly creating. My husband and I have moved to 3 different states in the past 4 1/2 years for his schooling/job. Since we are both students and very busy we never could really afford a dining table or really had the same schedules to sit down and have a proper dinner together. Now that life has settled down quite a bit and we are going to be in the same place for 3 years I would love to “redo” our dining room and start enjoying meals together and with friends!

My formal living room needs a makeover! ugh…. we just don’t use it and i would like to turn it into half reading nook and half play room for the kids! Love your neutral color palette, just need a little pop of color! haha I have been loving the golds, greys, and whites lately!

The family room desperately needs a makeover and I would love to redecorate it. It is more functional than a fashion statement. It doesn’t really have a cohesive style at all and the whole room is pretty worn out from lots of daily use.

Love it! Great color scheme, too. We just moved to Evergreen, CO from Wisconsin…so this is a bit of a change. Our “new” house was built in 2000…and it looks like it! Beige (errr some mauve!) canvas to work with. We see so much opportunity here…and expert advice would be fantastic! http://www.carried-away.net ….tbd

Thanks for the chance to win! I love your coffee area – love the chairs! My dining room area would be the space I would change. We hardly ever use it and I would love to change it to an office area or another small sitting area in our house.

Our dining area in our open floor plan house needs some serious attention! We have a hand-me-down table and china cabinet. I keep toying around with the idea of painting the furniture to change things up a bit…maybe a new rug or wall art would help too?!

There are several rooms in the house that could use a makeover, but the one I’d call “desperate” is the kitchen. So much stuff, so little organization! I’d love to have a good storage solution so I could reclaim the countertops.
